Natalie photographs every one of our in-center events here at Stony Point Fashion Park, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our events can get pretty busy, but she continuously (and flawlessly) captures the joyous connections and experiences of each event attendee and vendor. Her perspective and attention to detail are everything you could want out of a photographer, for any occasion. I personally plan each of our events, so it takes a huge weight off my shoulders knowing she is present, capturing every perspective of how the event not only looked, but felt.

I can’t say enough great things about Self & Soul Photography. Natalie is a phenomenal visual artist who has truly perfected her craft. Her passion for photography shines through in every detail. She’s incredibly talented at bringing your vision to life in full, vibrant color. Natalie was patient and kind during my kids’ graduation photo shoots. She took great care to make both of them feel comfortable and relaxed, which made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The results? Absolutely stunning. The quality of the images exceeded my expectations—they’re beautiful, professional and full of personality. I recommend Self & Soul Photography for any event. Natalie is a gem, and her work speaks for itself!

Natalie of Self and Soul Photography took care of me from the beginning to the end. She made the process convenient and assisted in coordinating a makeup artist prior to the shoot. She is very patient and knows how to capture the best. Try her for sure. You won't be disappointed.
